Nobody has more fun in Sin City than celebrity wild child Carmen Electra. With her every move reported in tabloid gossip columns throughout the universe, she can’t leave her dirty little secrets behind—such as when she married “The Worm” (aka distinctively weird former pro-basketballer Dennis Rodman) for all of nine days. After years of on-again-off-again relationships with a string of musicians ranging from Fred Durst, Tommy Lee and Prince, she eventually wound up in the arms of the love of her life and “best friend,” ex-“Red Hot Chili Peppers” guitarist Dave Navarro. One week before her marriage to Navarro, the compact (5-foot-4; 32- years-old and 36C-23-35) dancer-singer-model-actress arranged their joint bachelor/bachelorette party in the new penthouse suite at a small casino just off Vegas’ racy, twitchy Strip. Invitations featured Carmen and Navarro in the nude and strippers served as the evenings entertainment.

The dark, exotic Electra—the perfectly bronzed concoction of German, Irish and Cherokee—also has discovered a brilliant way to mix pleasure with business in Sin City. Working solo (although backed by two equally outrageous dancing beauties) with a mixture of feline sensuality and sexuality, she was the premiere bar-room burlesque act at the July Fourth grand opening of TI’s Tangerine Lounge & Nightclub. Getting down to her scant, glittering designer bra and panties while working up close and personal on the Tangerine’s enormous indoor/outdoor bar top, Electra’s risque finale was greeted with a standing ovation from a roaring crowd seemingly composed equally of men and women. The fun show, choreographed to be very sexy without crossing the line, leaves no one intimidated in the audience, though all are panting for more.
